What Do I Include in my Invitation? {Ideas and Information}

Typically, an invitation is made up of the mailing envelope, invite, RSVP card, and reply envelope (which should include a prepaid stamp). Save-the-dates, reception cards (used when the party is in a different spot than the ceremony), and inner envelopes are common add-ons.

Recently, people have also started to include a map or page of activities for out-of-towners. And some use post cards instead of RSVP cards with reply envelopes.

Besides the invitations and save-the dates, we make items such as ceremony programs, menu cards, favor/dessert tags and custom signage. Basically any paper good element you would like at your reception can be created by Cherish Paperie.

No matter what you choose, just remember to be clear on what you would like to include when ordering your invitations and reception stationery. Some brides order their invitations and when they get the complete set they end up without the inner envelope or other piece of the stationery that they wanted to include. Being upfront with your expectations and wants is always the best way to begin your invitation process. We can't wait to work with you to design your dream wedding stationery!
